Is the Tanner Family Coming Back Again?
Just when fans thought the Tanner family had said their final goodbye, rumors are swirling that Netflix might be bringing back another chapter of the beloved franchise — “Fullest House.”
Yes, you read that right. After Full House charmed us in the late ’80s and Fuller House revived our nostalgia in 2016, the word on the street is that 2025 could see yet another reboot — one that promises more laughter, more heart, and more Tanner-family chaos than ever before.
But is it really happening? Let’s dig into everything we know (and what fans are hoping for) about Fullest House.
1. A Look Back: From Full House to Fuller House
Before we talk about Fullest House, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane.
Full House premiered in 1987, giving audiences a wholesome comedy about a widowed dad (Danny Tanner), his brother-in-law (Jesse Katsopolis), and best friend (Joey Gladstone) raising three daughters together.
When Fuller House arrived nearly 30 years later, it flipped the script. This time, DJ Tanner-Fuller was a widowed mom raising her own kids — with help from her sister, Stephanie, and best friend, Kimmy.
The reboot ran for five seasons and ended in 2020 — but clearly, the Tanner story still isn’t over.
2. The Rumors Begin: Netflix Testing the Waters
So, how did Fullest House rumors start?
It began when Candace Cameron Bure, who plays DJ Tanner, posted a cryptic message on Instagram:
“Once a Tanner, always a Tanner… maybe one last time?”
Fans instantly went wild. Within hours, speculation flooded Twitter and Reddit, with theories ranging from a reunion special to a full-blown new series.
While Netflix hasn’t made an official announcement (yet), several entertainment insiders hint that talks are happening behind the scenes.
3. What Would “Fullest House” Be About?
If Fullest House does happen, what could it look like?
Word is, the show would follow DJ’s kids — Jackson, Max, and Tommy — as they grow into young adults, possibly starting families of their own. Meanwhile, DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy could take on new roles as the “grandparent generation.”
Imagine the chaos: Kimmy Gibbler as a grandma? Stephanie trying to guide a teenager through life? Yeah, we’d watch that.
4. Candace Cameron Bure Drops Hints About a Comeback
In a recent interview, Candace was asked if she’d ever return to the Tanner universe. Her response was a playful tease:
“Never say never! The door is always open — and the house just keeps getting fuller.”
That line alone reignited excitement online.
If anyone knows how to drop a nostalgic bombshell, it’s DJ Tanner herself.
5. Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber Are Totally On Board
Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) have both expressed interest in coming back.
During a podcast appearance, Jodie said:
“If Netflix called tomorrow and said they wanted Fullest House, I’d be there in a heartbeat.”
Andrea chimed in, saying, “We’re all still close, and the chemistry is still there. I think fans would love to see where everyone is 10 years later.”
Their enthusiasm alone gives fans hope that Fullest House might actually happen.
6. What About the Olsen Twins? Could They Return?
Ah yes, the million-dollar question — would Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen finally return as Michelle Tanner?
The twins famously skipped Fuller House, explaining that acting just wasn’t part of their lives anymore. But fans haven’t given up hope.
Some insiders suggest that even a brief cameo — or a clever Easter egg — could be on the table this time.
Imagine Michelle walking through the door in the finale, just to say, “You got it, dude!” Instant internet meltdown.
7. Netflix’s Strategy: Nostalgia = Streaming Gold
Netflix has been leaning heavily into nostalgia lately — with reboots like That ’90s Show, Cobra Kai, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
So, bringing back Fuller House as Fullest House makes perfect sense.
The original and reboot both performed well globally, especially with multigenerational audiences. With family-friendly content trending again, 2025 could be the perfect time for the Tanners to make a comeback.
8. Fan Reactions: “We’re So Ready for This!”
When rumors of Fullest House started circulating, fans took over social media.
One tweet read, “If Fullest House happens, I’m canceling all my plans for the year.”
Another said, “Netflix, don’t play with our hearts. Just bring back the Tanners already!”
Clearly, there’s a massive appetite for another dose of Tanner family nostalgia — and fans are more than ready to binge-watch.
9. What the New Generation Could Look Like
If Fullest House focuses on DJ’s kids, we could see the next generation step into the spotlight.
Jackson, DJ’s oldest, could be navigating life as a young parent. Max might follow in Uncle Jesse’s footsteps and become a musician. And little Tommy? Maybe he’s the new comic relief, like Uncle Joey once was.
With cameos from the original cast sprinkled throughout, Fullest House could balance new storylines with old-school heart.
10. Where Would It Be Set? Back to San Francisco?
The Tanner home on 1882 Girard Street in San Francisco is practically a character itself.
According to early buzz, Fullest House would likely keep that iconic setting — but with a twist.
DJ and her family might move to a new neighborhood, while the original house becomes a nostalgic “family hub,” much like it was in Full House.
That way, fans get the best of both worlds — new stories and a healthy dose of nostalgia.
11. Bob Saget’s Legacy and How the Show Might Honor Him
A Fullest House revival would, of course, pay tribute to Bob Saget, who passed away in 2022.
Saget, who played Danny Tanner, was the emotional heart of the franchise. His loss deeply affected the cast and fans alike.
Candace Cameron Bure said in an interview, “We’d never do anything without honoring Bob. He’s always with us.”
Fans can expect the new series to include heartfelt nods to Danny Tanner’s legacy — perhaps even through flashbacks or stories told by his TV daughters.
12. Could John Stamos and Dave Coulier Return Too?
John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) and Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey) have both expressed love for the franchise and their TV family.
Stamos told Entertainment Tonight, “I’d do it in a second. That show’s a part of my soul.”
If Fullest House moves forward, expect at least a few guest appearances from the beloved uncles — maybe even with Jesse’s own kids all grown up.
13. How “Fullest House” Could Evolve With Modern Themes
While Full House was known for its lighthearted humor, a modern reboot could touch on today’s issues — from parenting in the digital age to navigating careers, relationships, and blended families.
Still, fans hope it keeps that signature Tanner warmth and moral compass. Because at its core, the show has always been about family, love, and second chances.
14. Possible Release Date and Production Timeline
If Netflix greenlights Fullest House in late 2024, filming could begin in early 2025 — putting the premiere around holiday season 2025 or early 2026.
That timing would also coincide with the 40th anniversary of Full House, making it the perfect nostalgic comeback.
15. Why Fans Still Care About the Tanner Family
The reason the Full House universe endures is simple: it feels like home.
From Danny’s dad jokes to Kimmy’s wild outfits, these characters grew up with us — and grew older with us too.
Every generation that discovers Full House finds the same message: no matter how crazy life gets, family will always have your back.
Conclusion: From Full House to Fullest Hearts
Whether Fullest House becomes reality or remains a dream, one thing is clear — fans still crave that Tanner-family love.
Candace, Jodie, Andrea, and the rest of the cast have kept the spirit alive for nearly four decades. And if 2025 really brings the next chapter, it’ll be the most emotional reunion yet.
Because as Full House always taught us — you never outgrow family.
